To be able to grasp English as a second language proficiently, a strong basic foundation is required. Students should begin slowly acquiring the most basic foundations before moving on to more advanced levels. Good luck!!
英会話を第二言語として上手に理解できるようになるためには、より根本的な基礎が必要です。 学生は、より高度なレベルに入る前にゆっくりと最も根本的な基礎を取得し始めるべきです。 幸運を祈ります!

My advice would be to love the language and to have a passion to learn it not just because you feel that you are obliged to do it. To me, learning a new language, for instance, as for my case, Japanese language, was actually a key for me to open the hearts of locals here in Japan to understand their culture and way of thinking which indeed has much benefited me. In the same way, if you have the passion to learn it in that way, I believe such would be a great motivation instead of just having to have the thought that you have to strive hard just to master the language, Another one would put yourself in an English speaking environment which means studies abroad would be a very efficient way to master English.
英会話で伸び悩んでいる人々への私のアドバイスは、言語を愛すること、勉強を強いられると思うのではなく、
情熱を持つことです。私の場合、新しい言語（日本語）を学ぶ場合、心を開いて日本の文化や人々の考え方を理解することが鍵でした。同様に、英会話をそのように学ぶ情熱があったら、まさしくそれはやる気となり英会話を習得できると思います。 それと海外に留学して英会話を話す環境に身をおくことも、英会話を習得する非常に効率的な方法でしょう。

Try to avoid the translation, so you will be able to think in English.
英語で考えることができるために、訳を避けてください。

Learning a language takes a lot of effort and the only way to make it easier is to expose yourself to a lot of English. This means that you should read a lot of books and magazines, watch movies and listen to music in English. This way you can learn many new words and idioms and the right situations to use them. But the most important thing is to try to use them in class or when talking to native speakers. One should make the most of the classes and always actively participate even when he or she or not prepared the class.
言語を学ぶには、多くの努力が必要で、そして、それをより簡単にする唯一の方法は、多くの英語に親しむことです。 英語で多くの本や雑誌を読んで、映画を見て、音楽を聴くべきであることを意味します。 このように、あなたは、それらを使用するために多くの新しい単語、熟語、および正しい状況を勉強できます。 しかし、最も重要なことは、クラスであるいは英語母語の人々と話すとき、覚えたことを使おうとすることです。準備をしていなくてもクラスにいつも活発に参加するべきです。

I'm very patient, especially when people show certain difficulties to learn, I don't give up until I see some advance. I'm very friendly and I like to talk about all kind of topics. I'm opened minded which is important since I don't have any prejudice, and I'm willing to guide and to give all my knowledge to the student. I really enjoy teaching, and I know that is my best ability, since I've worked in other fields and I realized that, to teach is what I really like.

English is easier to learn than Japanese. It is only a matter of practice through communication.
英語と日本語では、英語の方が習いやすいです。英語で話すことが必要で、いつも練習することでだんだん上手になりますよ。

My word of advice would be to try to embrace the foreign language and to gain progressive interest in the necessary tools.

First I went to Japan in 1999 as an exchange student for one year. I studied Japanese language for one year in Japan. Now I am living in New York. I want to say Japanese people who are struggling with speaking English as a second language, don't be shy to make mistakes and enjoy speaking!
皆様、間違うことを恥ずかしがらないで、英語を話すのを楽しんで下さいね！

Listen to English TV programs, songs, etc. Read the same text, first in English then in Japanese. Speak in English as much as you can. Don't be afraid of making mistakes! If there are no mistakes, there is no progress. Do your best, it's worth the effort!
英語のテレビ番組や歌などを聴いて下さい。同じ文を最初に英語で、その後日本語で読んで下さい。できるだけ英語で話して下さい。間違えるのを恐れないで下さい。間違いがなければ進歩できないのです。頑張って下さい。努力する価値があります！

Try to read and listen to as much English as you possibly can. Speaking is always very difficult, but once you have listened or read enough English, it becomes more boring and simple and thus easier to speak. You may have to look up the same word many times, but that's normal, don't get discourage.

The best way to learn English is to try to practice your English whenever you have a chance. Trying to speak is the best way of improving your English even if you are shy or embarrassed about your abilities. Keep up the good work!

What I understood about Japanese and their ability of learning English during this one year is that they can be good at grammar and vocabularies but the problem is with speaking and pronunciation. I even have met some Japanese who completely understand what I say but can not reply perfectly though they've studied English for a long time. The problem is because of the different frequency of the vowels in different language. The frequency of vowels in English are much more higher than the ones in Japanese. To learn how to pronounce them my idea is this: You should listen to the correct pronunciation a lot and be patient until you get the results. It's how I learned Japanese, even the new words. I remember the ones which I learned them through the conversations better than the ones I studied and tried to memorize them. This method takes longer time to learn English but the result is incredible. So make your mind right now, and start listening to CDs and watching movies in English since today.
日本人にとって英語の文法や単語を覚えるのはあまり難しくないですけど発音またはしゃべるのは大変です。これは英語と日本語では音の周波数が違うからです。しかし努力によってだれでも英語の母音を発音できるはずです。もし皆さんが正しい発音を聞いて、たくさん耳に入れたら、自分でもだんだん発音できるようになります。会話を通して言語を学ぶのは一番役に立つ方法だと思います。この方法によって、英会話を習うのは長い時間がかかりますがその結果はすばらしいです。英会話が出来るようになることを目指して、今日からCDを聞いたり映画を見たりして頑張って下さい。

Practice! Practice! Practice! (Renshuu！ Renshuu！Renshuu！) reading, writing. listening, speaking. There is nothing better for your knowledge than using it, even just a little, every day, all the practice that you can get. It would teach you more than a hundred grammar lessons.

There are about five steps to be a good English speaker. Here, I will say only the first step. The first step is you have to listen to English as much as possible. It may sound obvious, but this is the most important factor to speak English fluently. You must know how they pronounce, how they speak. And, you have to pay attention to their intonation. This can be found out through listening to English. That's why this is the first step to speak fluent English. But there is a certain way in listening to English. If I am your teacher, I will tell you about it.
英語を上手に駆使する為には、約五つの段階が必要です。ここでは一番目の方法だけを申し上げたいと思います。最初の段階は、英語を出来るだけたくさん聞くことです。当たり前のように聞こえるかもしれませんが、これが英語をはなすことにおいて一番重要な要素なのです。まず、英語母語の人々がどう発音するのか、どう話すか、そしてどういう抑揚で話すのかをわからなければなりません。これは英語の聞き取りを通してこそわかるのです。ですから、これが英語を上手に話すための一番目の段階なのです。しかし、英語を聞くには、ある方法があります。私があなたの先生であればこれをあなたに申し上げたいと思います。

As with just about any journey, the first steps in learning English are always the hardest. You shouldn't expect to make much progress in the beginning but as time passes, you will realize that your effort is not in vain. Furthermore, English is a language created by people for people. There is no math to it and phrases mechanically doesn't help much. It really doesn't matter whether the grammar is perfect or not. All that matters is to be able to communicate. Then rest will come naturally. Finally, the most important thing is to ENJOY learning English. Don't think of it as a barrier but as gateway to the rest of the world.
英語の勉強の始めは確かに一番難しいと思います。どんなにがんばっても始めのうちはあまり進まないのは自然です。外国語を学ぶためには長い時間が必要です。だから、時間が経つと共に、勉強が楽にあるはずです。英語は人間のために人間によって作られたものです。数学ではないのです。 そして英文をそのまま全体を暗記することにあまり意味はないと思います。完全な文法よりもコミュニケーションができることが大事です。話すようになれば、自然に英会話を学べます。最も重要なのは、英語の勉強を楽しむことです。それを障壁と考えるのではなく、この広い世界へのゲートウエイとして考えて下さい。

Speak without fear of making a mistake. This is very important. By making mistakes, the correct word or phrase will become easier to remember.
間違いを恐れず話すのが大事です。間違えることにより、正しい英語の使い方が強く記憶に残ります。

English can be a deceiving fellow sometimes. I don't think that the language is either easy or hard. Naturally, some people learn it fast, and some people take a little more time to master it. Given the enormous differences between English and Japanese, I could say that learning it should be a job for a genius. But no, I disagree. There are many Japanese people speaking English as there are many noon-Japanese people speaking Japanese around the globe, and I cannot force myself to believe that some people were born to learn how to communicate and some other weren't. A very good dose of effort and confidence can make all the difference and that's what I want to supply my students with.
英語と日本語の違いは多いです。と言っても、英語圏の人で日本語が話せる人がたくさんいて、日本人で英会話が話せる人も多いです。外国語を身に付けるのは絶対無理なことではないと思います。が、簡単にできることでもないです。外国語を学ぶ人に必要なものは努力と忍耐です。努力があれば、続けることができます。忍耐があれば、難しいところ、問題を乗り越える姿勢が作れます。私は、生徒たちに動機付けを与えて、自信を持たせ、教師として、生徒たちの成長の道具になりたいと思います。

First lesson about Japanese in international lecture raises the question about 3 behaviors of Japanese people in the train. And how to behave in public transportation as a Gaijin and what to do. “First: Read a Book, Second: play computer Games, Third: Stare at the advertisings in the train. Because most of Japanese people feel uncomfortable or avoid sitting near to the Gaijin/Foreigner/ simply because these people are shy and afraid to be asked on English” says the professor in the international university. and that where it starts Japanese people which would like to study foreign language require more conversations and improvement of their environment by getting to know or becoming friends with foreigners. And if you make mistakes during your conversations even better then these people will teach you or will help you to improve your languages. Remember there is never a stupid question but stupid answers and this phrase should encourage you to communicate more. Other ways to watch media or news on English or create an environment for daily based trainings on languages and believe me I will help you how to make it.

First of all, I would like to congratulate those who are willing to learn English as a second language because you have certainly taken a great effort and have realized how important English is. As English is the international language and the most widely spoken language in the world, by mastering English you can be connected to the rest of the world by one common language. As learning a new language is never easy, you have to practice it every day, be it listening or speaking. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Talk to your friends in English, read some English comics or story books, listen to English songs. These are some of the ways which can help improve your English. Have fun!!!
英語は難しいですが、おもしろくて楽しいです。でも毎日勉強しなければなりません。英語の本を読んだり、英語の歌を歌ったり、友達と英語を話してください。これらは必ず英語の勉強に役に立ちますから。 そして楽しんで下さい!!

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Many English learners are afraid of making mistakes and thus tend not to speak out. But it is far more important that you can communicate your ideas, even if your grammar is incorrect. So have no fear, and speak out!
会話中の文法的なミスを気にしないで下さい！英会話を勉強している多くの日本人は会話中の文法的なミスを起こすのが怖くて、ミスをできるだけ少なくするために自分の意見等をあまり伝えません。しかし文法があってるかどうかより、意見を正直に伝えられるほうが絶対にましです。だからこそ、ミスの恥を捨て、心から伝えましょう！
ジュネーブ大学 Menandro
Learning a language such as English in not learning a language so much as learning how people who speak English think. if you can get used to the way of an English speakers way of thinking then it is a lot easier for yourself to utilize and improve your own English. In order to achieve this, it takes patience and most of all, practice.

What I found useful in studying English (and possibly other languages) regularity is important. So never give up. Make it a habit to read, to listen, and to watch English textbook, speech or movie. I think I am sharing my own way of learning English. There are several stages. In first stage learner is just accumulating knowledge. And just after accumulation, English learner usually starts using language.
九州大学 Achraf
English is really important, so I advice you to practice it as often as possible. Also I recommend you to watch a lot of English movies with subtitles it gonna help a lot. Good luck!!!
